Simon’s Town South Africa

Simon’s Town South Africa

I’m in Cape Town and I had been told by some people that it was a good day trip to Simon’s Town. I went to the train station and found that a round-trip first class ticket to Simon’s Town would set me back less than $5. I thought that sounded pretty fair so I took the train. I made sure and get a first class ticket which cost me twice as much as a second-class ticket. The reason why was that I was told that there was much more petty crime in second class as first class and only really, really poor people took second-class train rides. Sounded like hog-wash, but who am I to question local wisdom? It seems that South Africa is much like the United States. People with money tended to use their own autos when they wanted to go somewhere reasonably close.
